204	I17315	BLIND	Henry the	1113	14 Aug 1196	0	Henry is an important figure in the history of the southern Netherlands and the modern countries of Belgium and Luxembourg. He was especially important to the history of the county of Namur, where he was the last member of the first line of counts, and the most powerful of them. His important inheritances were divided again after his death, bringing Namur and Luxembourg to different families. His daughter, born late in life kept Luxembourg and the smaller Ardennes lordships, while descendants of his sister Alice, counts of Flanders and Hainaut, possessed Namur.	tree1

212	I7478	BOLD	Uhtred the		1016	0	The killing of Uhtred by Thurbrand the Hold started a blood feud that lasted for many years. Uhtred's son Ealdred subsequently avenged his father by killing Thurbrand, but Ealdred in turn was killed by Thurbrand's son, Carl. Ealdred's vengeance had to wait until the 1070s, when Waltheof, Ealdred’s grandson had his soldiers kill most of Carl's sons and grandsons. This is an example of the notorious Northumbrian blood feuds that were common at this time.	tree1

214	I9205	BONVILLE	Cecily	1461	12 May 1530	0	When Cecily was just six months old, both her father, Lord Harington, and grandfather, William Bonville, were executed following the disastrous Battle of Wakefield on 30 December 1460. The Bonvilles, having fought with the Yorkist contingent, were shown no mercy from the victorious troops of Margaret of Anjou (wife of King Henry VI of England), who headed the Lancastrian faction, and were thus swiftly decapitated on the battlefield. Cecily's maternal grandfather, Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, was also executed after the battle which had been commanded on the Lancastrian side by Henry Beaufort, 3rd Duke of Somerset, while Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, had led the Yorkists and was consequently slain in the fighting. Margaret of Anjou, Queen of England, was in Scotland at the time raising support for her cause and so had not been present at Wakefield.[5] In less than two months, the Yorkists suffered another major defeat at the Second Battle of St Albans on 17 February 1461, and the Lancastrian army's commander Margaret of Anjou, in an act of vengeance, personally ordered the execution of Cecily's great-grandfather, Baron Bonville, the next day.[6] These executions left Cecily Bonville as the wealthiest heiress in England,[7][8] having inherited numerous estates in the West Country,[9] as well as manors in Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, and Cumberland.[10] She succeeded to the title of suo jure 7th Baroness Harington of Aldingham on 30 December 1460,[11] and the title of suo jure 2nd Baroness Bonville on 18 February 1461.	tree1

216	I19388	BOODEY	Zechariah	1677	1755	0	Landed in Boston in 1695 at the age of eighteen. With other fellow sailors he deserted ship, fled into the wilderness, evaded detectives, and eventually hid in a haymow and an old hovel in Cocheco, now Madbury, not far from the present Madbury Town Hall. After the ship departed, he emerged from hiding and settled in Cocheco among the Indians. A granite monument to his memory, with a large corn mortar carved upon it by the Indians, was placed on his grave by the poet-historian Robert Caverly Boodey, inscribed on each of the four sides with "Boodey 1695", King Phillip 1675", Demerritt 1758" and "Caverly 1780", to mark the spot where Red Men and White Men lived together in a kindly fellowship.

242	I8697	BRACKETT	Capt Anthony	14 Jul 1636	21 Sep 1689	0	Became a wealthy man with 400 acres, livestock, and a slave. His farm was located along Back Cove from the area of Deering Oaks and extending up into the University of Southern Maine campus and out towards Capisic. His house was situated near where Deering Avenue and the interstate cross. The story of Ann Mitton Brackett and her family during the turbulent times of King Philip's War in Maine is a tale of survival and resilience. In August 1676, the war, which had ended in Massachusetts, was still raging in Maine. The Native Americans, incited by Simon the Yankee Killer, were seeking revenge against the English settlers for various grievances, including land disputes and the confiscation of their guns. The Brackett family, living in Casco (now Portland), Maine, found themselves in the midst of this conflict. Anthony Brackett, a wealthy landowner, and his wife Ann Mitton Brackett, along with their five children and a slave, were living on a farm along Back Cove. The area, a beautiful landscape of marshland and tidal estuaries, was also home to other colonists who had settled around Back Cove and the Presumpscot River. The tensions escalated when neighboring Indians killed one of Anthony Brackett's cows. Simon, pretending to help Brackett find the culprits, arrived at the Brackett home with a war party. The Indians ransacked the house, confiscated guns, and bound the family, taking them captive. Ann's brother, Nathaniel Mitton, who was visiting, resisted and was immediately killed. The war party continued their raid across the area, attacking homesteads, killing settlers, and taking captives. The local militia, spread thin and unprepared, could not mount an effective defense. The settlers, realizing the gravity of the situation, began to flee to safer areas. The Brackett family, along with other captives, was taken northeast of Casco. At some point, the Indians who had taken the Brackett family got distracted by other raids, leaving the family behind. Seizing the opportunity, Ann, using her needlework skills, repaired an abandoned canoe they found. Despite the rudimentary tools and materials available, Ann managed to make the canoe seaworthy. The family embarked on a perilous journey across Casco Bay, eventually reaching Black Point. From there, they found a vessel bound for Piscataqua and made their way to safety. This escape was a remarkable feat, considering the circumstances and the limited resources at their disposal. Tragically, Ann Mitton Brackett passed away the following year, in 1677, and was buried at Sandy Beach in Rye. Her death, possibly due to childbirth, was a significant loss to the family. Anthony Brackett remarried and returned to Casco with his new wife, Susannah Drake, and had five more children. He continued to serve in the local militia and was involved in the community's defense efforts. However, the peace was short-lived. In 1689, Anthony Brackett was killed in another attack, highlighting the ongoing conflicts and dangers of the frontier life during that era. The story of the Brackett and Mitton families during these tumultuous times is a testament to their courage and determination in the face of adversity.	tree1
243	I1560	BRACKETT	Charles H	1 Nov 1865	23 Mar 1938	0	Charles was the proprietor of Cold Springs Farm in Greenland and owned 200 acres of land. Gladys Chapman reports that he liked the women and that because of his running around, he couldn't pay the mortgage and lost the farm.	tree1
244	I8822	BRACKETT	Samuel	27 Apr 1672	27 Apr 1752	0	Samuel Brackett was the son of Thomas Brackett and Mary Mitton. After his parents' death when he was around six years old, he was taken captive by Indians. Upon his redemption from captivity by his grandfather, he went to live with his aunt Martha in Kittery, Maine. He married Elizabeth Botts on November 20, 1694	tree1
245	I8805	BRACKETT	Thomas	1635	11 Aug 1676	0	The story of Thomas Brackett and his wife Mary Mitton, as detailed in "The Bracketts of Peaks Island: An Introduction" by Reta Morrill, unfolds as a tale of early American settlers and their struggles. Thomas Brackett, a descendant of George Cleeve, one of Portland's first settlers, arrived in Boston from Scotland around 1629. He and his brother Anthony moved to Falmouth (now Portland) around 1662. Thomas married Mary Mitton, whose parents were Michael Mitton and Elizabeth Cleeve, George Cleeve's daughter. Thomas Brackett's life was marked by tragedy during the turbulent times of Native American and settler conflicts. In 1676, he was killed by Native Americans, and his wife and children were taken captive. Mary Mitton Brackett died shortly after her capture, but their children survived and were eventually returned. One of their children, Joshua Brackett, who was only two years old at the time of his capture, grew up to father Joshua Jr. and Anthony, from whom the Bracketts and Trotts of Peaks Island descended. The Brackett family's story is intertwined with the early settlement of New England and reflects the hardships and dangers of the time. Their legacy, particularly in Peaks Island and the broader region of Maine and New Hampshire, is a testament to their resilience and the challenging circumstances of early American life.	tree1

247	I2127	BRADSTREET	Dudley	1648	13 Nov 1702	0	Sources: http://www.legendsofamerica.com/ma-witches-b.html Historical Sketches of Andover, Massachusetts by Sarah Loring Bailey, published by Houghton Mifflin in 1880 Colonel Dudley Bradstreet was serving as the Justice of Peace in Andover during the witch hysteria. Though he didn't believe the witchcraft delusion, his duties required him to issue almost 50 arrest warrants before he finally refused to issue any more. Afterwards, both Dudley and his wife, Ann were also accused. They temporarily fled the area, evading arrest. Dudley's father, Simon would serve as the Colonial Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1670 to 1686. After Simon's wife Anne died, he moved back to Salem and Dudley moved into his father's residence in Andover, as well as taking over his father's leadership role in the town. Dudley was an attorney, a colonel in the militia, schoolteacher, and served as a selectman and town clerk in Andover. He would also serve as a Deputy to the General Court of Massachusetts and later, was a member of the Governor's Council. Though he opposed the entire witchcraft delusion, he found himself in the unenviable position of Justice of the Peace in Andover during the hysteria. In the eight weeks from July 15, 1692 until the "touch test" on September 7th, Bradstreet granted out arrest warrants against, and committed, some 30 Andover persons to prisons for supposed witchcrafts. On September 7th, after the ludicrous "touch test," he dutifully wrote out an additional 18 warrants. However, after he had issued those warrants, he refused to grant any more. Not long afterwards, both he and his wife Ann Wood (widow of Theodore Price), were themselves, accused of witchcraft, with the "afflicted" claiming that they had killed at least nine people. In response, Colonel Bradstreet and his wife fled the area. However, he later returned to Andover and his name appears first on the petition written in late December. The petition, presented to the Superior Court of Judicature at Salem at its opening session on January 3, 1693. It was signed not only by Colonel Bradstreet, but also the Reverend Francis Dane, Reverend Thomas Barnard, 38 other men, and 12 women. The petition was on behalf of Mary Clement Osgood, Eunice Potter Frye, Deliverance Haseltine Dane, Sarah Lord Wilson and Abigail Wheeler Barker, who were all church members who had been arrested together at the Andover touch test. He died in Andover, Massachusetts in 1706.	tree1
